Well, there was a flicker of hope when you had a brief moment of clarity on the last page, and said you were listening to The Who--even if it was a song that Pearl Jam covers on a regular basis, but even that was all shot to hell again just now.

So I'm listening to this Pearl Jam MP3 disc I've got, that I made from all of their albums, and I've got it on random, and sure enough, it's always landing on the crap throwaway instrumental tracks from each album. Stuff like "(red dot)" from Yield, and "Heyfoxymophandlemama, that's me" from Vitalogy. I suppose "Bugs" and "Pry, to" are coming up next.

So Scott, since you're the resident expert, do you have any idea why they put this filler garbage on their albums?
